Chapter 1020: Chapter 1061: Xu Shanshan Takes Action

Li Yifei finally returned home, where Lin Qiong and Xu Yingying quickly surrounded him, anxiously asking, "How did it go?"

Li Yifei took a deep breath, wrapped his arms around both their waists, and said, "It’s all good. I convinced them to give us some time to handle it ourselves."

Xu Yingying, worried, said, "Did they really agree? Other matters aside, with something like this, I always feel my parents wouldn’t be so easygoing."

Lin Qiong also expressed doubt, "My parents are like two old antique pieces; how could they so readily agree?"

Li Yifei laughed and said, "They love their daughter, of course they want what’s best for her, so as long as I focus on that point, I have my ways." He roughly explained what had happened to the two of them.

After hearing the story, they were still not quite reassured. Lin Qiong bit her lip and said, "I’ve thought of a way."

Li Yifei and Xu Yingying immediately asked, "What way?"

Lin Qiong hesitantly said, "Get pregnant."

Both Xu Yingying and Li Yifei were taken aback, but quickly realized that it wasn’t a bad idea. If Lin Qiong got pregnant, her parents would have no choice but to acknowledge the situation.

Li Yifei hesitated for a moment before saying, "It could work, but don’t you not want to have children so soon?"

Lin Qiong rolled her eyes and said, "What else can I do? If I don’t have a child, my parents will drag me back home."

But now Xu Yingying was getting anxious and said, "It’s fine for you to want kids, I want them too, but I haven’t gotten pregnant after all this time."

Lin Qiong immediately responded, "Last checkup showed you had no problems; surely you can get pregnant sooner or later. Once we both have kids, they can’t possibly want them to be fatherless, right? Come on, let’s go now. Today you have to get me pregnant. If you can’t, I’ll hold you accountable."

Lin Qiong pulled Li Yifei up and dragged him toward the bedroom.

Xu Yingying shook her head. She felt that this approach might not solve the problem, but there didn’t seem to be any alternative. So they might as well give it a try, especially since she really did want a child now.

That night, Li Yifei gave his all, completely exhausted. Normally, when they were all together, Li Yifei could handle both, preserving his energy, satisfying one first before moving to the other. His stamina was usually sufficient, so such activities were not overly taxing for him.

But today was different. Both Lin Qiong and Xu Yingying were demanding, and it wasn’t just about physical strength; he had to deliver, and they were afraid they wouldn’t get pregnant on the first try, so they wanted a second, then a third. This was no easy task. In the end, Li Yifei was so drained he couldn’t keep up and collapsed into a deep sleep on the bed, only to be woken up by Lin Qiong and Xu Yingying the next morning.

When they went to eat, everyone saw how exhausted Li Yifei looked and couldn’t help but be surprised. Ning Xin’er joked with a laugh, "Say, Lin Qiong and Yingying, you two were wild last night, weren’t you? How did you end up tiring out your husband like this?"

Everyone laughed along. Li Yifei usually woke up energetic and had never seemed so drained before, so Ning Xin’er’s words were clearly in jest, and nobody took it seriously.

But at that moment, Li Yifei managed a wry smile and said, "Yeah, they nearly drained me dry."

The laughter continued, as nobody really believed it was true. Su Yiyi asked with concern, "Husband, are you so tired because you’re not feeling well?"

Li Yifei chuckled bitterly and replied, "No, Qiongqiong and Yingying both want to have children, so I just did my best. It’s a bit tiring, but I’ll be fine after some rest."

Everyone was stunned and then turned to look at Lin Qiong and Xu Yingying. Xu Yingying appeared a bit embarrassed, while Lin Qiong said, "We had no choice but to have kids. Last night, my parents and Yingying’s caught us in the room."

"No way?" Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Xu Shanshan even grabbed her sister’s arm and said, "Did our parents really come?"

Xu Yingying managed a resigned smile and replied, "Yes, they showed up last night out of the blue, without even a phone call beforehand. And they came with Lin Qiong’s parents, too. The worst part is, it was when the two of us were together."

Xu Shanshan quickly said, "You got caught in bed?"

"No."

"Was all this really necessary? You could have just said Qiongqiong had something to do tonight, so she’s staying over."

Lin Qiong said, "That would have come out sooner or later. How long can we keep this a secret? So we just told them. Better they know sooner and start accepting it than wait till they’re older and their hearts can’t take it, and then something unfortunate happens."

With that explanation, everyone could understand, but the thought of this troublesome matter was quite headache-inducing. Suddenly, Xu Shanshan burst into laughter and said, "Sis, our parents must have been furious, right?"

Xu Yingying rolled her eyes and said, "You still find this funny. You go and spend time with our parents today. Have a good talk with them, so they don’t get too upset."

Xu Shanshan stiffened her neck and said, "You’re asking for my help, yet you have this attitude? Forget it, I’m not doing it."

Xu Yingying quickly interjected, "My dear sister, I knew you’re full of ideas, and you can charm mom and dad too. Could you please handle this for us, okay? Later on, whatever you want, I’ll get your brother-in-law to buy it for you."

"That’s more like it," Xu Shanshan smiled triumphantly and then snapped her fingers, "Then rest assured, leave it to me. I’ll definitely get mom and dad to accept everyone."

Everyone looked at Xu Shanshan in surprise. Actually, pulling this off wasn’t easy at all. Zheng Yuling and Xiao Ling’er were the first to face this issue, and although they managed to resolve it, it was because Li Yifei had given the family enough benefits. Big family interests come first, so it was somewhat easier. But for ordinary people, this issue was even tougher to handle.

Furthermore, Ning Xin’er, Song Lianyao, and He Fangqing hadn’t gotten their families’ approval yet. They were somewhat worried about this issue in their hearts. They could accept this special family, but how could their own families? They just never faced this problem directly and didn’t dwell on it much. Now that Lin Qiong and Xu Yingying were dealing with it, naturally, they wanted to know how to solve it too.

"Shanshan, do you have a strategy?" Ning Xin’er asked anxiously.

Xu Shanshan lifted her head in pride, and just when everyone looked at her with expectant eyes, she giggled and said, "I haven’t thought of anything yet."

"Tsk!" Everyone immediately scorned Xu Shanshan.

Xu Shanshan looked at everyone and said with a grin, "I must tell you, whether this works out or not, it all hinges on me. If you want to follow my brother-in-law, it depends on whether I can pull this off. Treating me like this doesn’t seem very nice, you know."

"Sister Shan, you’re the best," Xiao Ling’er wrapped her arms around Xu Shanshan’s neck, giggling, "Come on, tell us."

"No need to butter me up; I’m immune to that. I prefer material incentives," said Xu Shanshan.

"Alright," Ye Yunzhu laughed, "If you really sort this out, whatever you ask for, we’ll all pitch in."

"That’s what I like to hear, Sister Yunzhu. Then just watch me," Xu Shanshan replied cheerfully.

After dinner, Xu Shanshan took Little Yifei by the hand and said, "Yifei, grandma is here, shall we go see grandma together?"

Little Yifei immediately cried out excitedly, "Yes! Yes! No kindergarten today, I can see grandma and grandpa."

Ning Xin’er was taken aback and quickly said, "Shanshan, isn’t it a problem to let Yifei go at this time?"

Xu Shanshan laughed lightly and said, "Don’t worry. I know my parents well. Even if they have grievances against my brother-in-law, they wouldn’t take it out on a child. Plus, they really adore Yifei. With Yifei making a move, we’re halfway there."

Watching Xu Shanshan leave with Little Yifei, everyone at home felt anxious, but there wasn’t much they could do. Besides, out of all those present, besides Xu Shanshan, none seemed suitable to step in. All they could do now was wait for updates from Xu Shanshan.

Xu Shanshan arrived at the hotel with Little Yifei, and as soon as she opened the door, Little Yifei rushed toward Xu Shanshan’s mother, exclaiming excitedly, "Grandma, I’ve missed you so much!"

Even if Xu Shanshan’s mother was upset, she couldn’t ignore the affection from Little Yifei, whom she’d looked after for such a long time. The bond was inseparable; she lifted Little Yifei into her arms and kissed her on the face, saying, "Oh, my sweet granddaughter, grandma has missed you too. I came specially to see you, didn’t I?"

"For real? Grandma, you’re the best," Little Yifei hugged her grandmother’s neck and planted a kiss on her cheek.

This made Xu Shanshan’s mother even happier, "My granddaughter is so good to me. Grandma’s love for you wasn’t in vain."

"Grandma, how about I take you out to play with mom today?" Little Yifei tilted her head and asked.

"Yes, let’s go. Grandma hasn’t had a chance to play here yet."

With Little Yifei lightening the mood, the Xu Zhenguo Couple felt a bit better. Xu Zhenguo then pulled Xu Shanshan aside with a stern face, saying, "Do you know about your brother-in-law and Lin Qiong’s situation?"

Xu Shanshan laughed and said, "Of course, I know. You two don’t need to worry about it. What’s meant to be ours will be ours; clinging forcefully to something that’s not won’t help. Brother-in-law and sister know what to do in their hearts."

"I used to be quite at ease about your sister, but when it comes to matters of the heart, I am not so sure."

"Don’t worry, leave it to me. I assure you I won’t let brother-in-law get away," said Xu Shanshan.

"Do you have a plan?"

"Of course, I do. If I could get my brother-in-law and sister together, I can keep them together for life," Xu Shanshan said confidently.

Looking at his daughter Xu Shanshan, Xu Zhenguo shook his head. He really wasn’t sure about her handling other matters, but in this regard, it seemed that her cunning ideas were numerous. Perhaps letting her take care of this would indeed yield a better outcome.
